PloS one
This study assessed the acceptability of CITOBOT, a device for early cervical cancer screening in a real-world pilot setting as part of a translational research project aimed at designing and clinically validating a portable, cost-effective device su...

Effectiveness of a community intervention program on healthy lifestyles (PREDICOL) among adults with prediabetes in two Latin American cities: A quasi-experimental study.

Primary care diabetes
PURPOSE: This study aimed to measure the impact of a community-based lifestyle modification intervention program on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of adults with prediabetes in two Latin American cities.

Prediction of the Risk of Adverse Clinical Outcomes with Machine Learning Techniques in Patients with Noncommunicable Diseases.

Journal of medical systems
Decision-making in chronic diseases guided by clinical decision support systems that use models including multiple variables based on artificial intelligence requires scientific validation in different populations to optimize the use of limited human...

A machine learning approach to map the potential agroecological complexity in an indigenous community of Colombia.

Journal of environmental management
Agroecological systems are potential solutions to the environmental challenges of intensive agriculture. Indigenous communities, such as the Kamëntšá Biyá and Kamëntšá Inga from the Sibundoy Valley (SV) in Colombia, have their own ancient agroecologi...

Development and validation of interpretable machine learning models to predict glomerular filtration rate in chronic kidney disease Colombian patients.

Annals of clinical biochemistry
BACKGROUND: ML predictive models have shown their capability to improve risk prediction and assist medical decision-making, nevertheless, there is a lack of accuracy systems to early identify future rapid CKD progressors in Colombia and even in South...

Advancing common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) disease detection with YOLO driven deep learning to enhance agricultural AI.

Scientific reports
Common beans (CB), a vital source for high protein content, plays a crucial role in ensuring both nutrition and economic stability in diverse communities, particularly in Africa and Latin America. However, CB cultivation poses a significant threat to...

Prediction of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical expenditures associated with Diabetes Mellitus type II based on clinical risk.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of different machine learning models in estimating the pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical expenditures associated with Diabetes Mellitus type II diagnosis, based on the clinical risk index determined by the a...

Leading consumption patterns of psychoactive substances in Colombia: A deep neural network-based clustering-oriented embedding approach.

PloS one
The number of health-related incidents caused using illegal and legal psychoactive substances (PAS) has dramatically increased over two decades worldwide. In Colombia, the use of illicit substances has increased up to 10.3%, while the consumption alc...

Design and Usability of an Avatar-Based Learning Program to Support Diabetes Education: Quality Improvement Study in Colombia.

Journal of diabetes science and technology
BACKGROUND: This quality improvement study, entitled Avatar-Based LEarning for Diabetes Optimal Control (ABLEDOC), explored the feasibility of delivering an educational program to people with diabetes in Colombia. The aim was to discover how this app...

Linear and Machine Learning modelling for spatiotemporal disease predictions: Force-of-Infection of Chagas disease.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is a long-lasting disease with a prolonged asymptomatic period. Cumulative indices of infection such as prevalence do not shed light on the current epidemiological situation, as they integrate infection over long periods. I...
